Expert coverage of ASCE 7-16-compliant, wind-resistant engineering
methods for safer, sounder low-rise and standard multi-story
buildings Using the hands-on information contained in this
comprehensive engineering guide you will be able to design and
construct safer buildings that will better withstand extreme wind
forces. Written by a recognized structural design expert, the book
explains the general concepts and principles involved in the design
of buildings and structures for wind forces. Structural systems
used to resist wind forces are outlined and explained, in the
context of both low-rise and high-rise buildings. Building Design
for Wind Forces provides easy-to-follow summaries of complex ASCE
7-16 wind load provisions and shows how to apply the corresponding
design procedures using practical examples. A detailed discussion
of typical structural damage caused by extreme wind events such as
hurricanes and tornadoes is presented along with design
recommendations. Current wind engineering activities and recent
research developments are discussed, and a general overview of wind
tunnel procedures and an introduction to the concept of
database-assisted design (DAD) is provided. Building Design for
Wind Forces covers:*Wind forces and wind effects on buildings and
structures*Wind load provisions of the ASCE 7-16 standard*Damage to
structures caused by extreme wind events*Wind engineering
activities and research trends*Structural systems for lateral
loads*Tall buildings*Wind design procedures and wind load
parameters*Wind loads on the Main Wind Force Resisting System
(MWFRS)*Wind loads on Components and Cladding (C&C)*Wind loads
on building appurtenances and other structures*Wind tunnels and the
wind tunnel procedure*Database-assisted design (DAD)
